Department of Accounting & Economics

The Department of Accounting and Economics offers two degree programs. The objective
of both degree programs is to offer an academic base equipping students to be life-long
learners who will then mature as professionals in the world of business. The accounting
curriculum prepares graduates for a variety of careers in public, private and not-for-profit
entities as well as entry into graduate programs. The department also provides a major
program in economics and finance where graduates can enter professional careers as
economic and financial analysts in business or government or continue in graduate
studies.

Students who plan to pursue graduate studies should consider the entrance requirements
of the graduate degree program which they desire to enter. Faculty advisors will work
closely with these students to assist them in planning their course work to meet the
graduate degree program requirements. Part of this planning will involve the student
sitting for examinations such as the GMAT, GRE, or LSAT.
